Chapter 2404 Murder and Silence
In particular, there is a large hollow in the white tooth, which looks even more like a cavity on a human tooth.
Shangguan Biao dripped the dew into the hollow of the white stone.
One drop, two drops...
When the third drop was dripped, the tremors on the ground lessened, and the cave stopped twisting.
When the fifth drop fell, the crack in the ground returned to calm.
Apart from the stalactite fragments scattered all over the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Shangguan Biao put the medicine bottle away again and continued cleaning the nest.
Judging from his behavior, this wasn't the first time he'd done this. However, seeing Shangguan Biao's furtive manner, He Lingchuan suspected that perhaps no one in Changfeng Valley knew that the dew from the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus could calm the Earth Mother.
Immortal Mingke pondered, "If it's called a nest, where is Mother Earth?"
He thought he would finally see the true face of Mother Earth on this trip.
Aunt Zhu corrected, "I'm afraid Shangguan Biao is currently inside the Earth Mother's body."
"Hmm?" Immortal Mingke understood immediately. "You mean, this entire back mountain is the body of the Earth Mother?"
"For now," Aunt Zhu continued. "The Earth Mother originally evolved from a stone heart, and her appearance can change in countless ways."
Just then, a loud cracking sound came from not far away, as if something had hit some gravel on the ground. Shangguan Biao looked up sharply, pointed, and the luminous orb flew over, illuminating a figure in the distance heading towards the entrance.
"who!"
The figure was caught in an awkward situation, unsure whether to move or not, and finally turned around.
Shangguan Biao exclaimed, "Senior Brother Wang? Weren't you bedridden?"
This fellow always tries to curry favor with Supervisor Zhao, and relying on his seniority, he often bosses around the other laborers. Sometimes when he's lazy and doesn't do his work, Supervisor Zhao will have Shangguan Biao and a few other junior laborers cover for him.
Senior Brother Wang, his whereabouts exposed, touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed and angry: "You have such a treasure to soothe Mother Earth and you're still hiding it? Don't you care about the lives of the rest of us?"
Seeing the heavy accusation being slapped on him so easily, Shangguan Biao immediately explained, "I'm not confident yet. I'm just conducting an experiment. How could I dare to report it to my sect before it's successful?"
Senior Brother Wang immediately seized on the opportunity: "Experiment? In other words, you have no confidence in the effectiveness of this thing? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to dare to use us, the guardian spirit beasts, as test subjects? What consequences can you bear if it fails?"
To be honest, He Lingchuan and Immortal Mingke thought his words made a lot of sense.
"It won't break," Shangguan Biao quickly replied with a smile. "I can even drink that dew."
"Whether it's good or bad is not for you to decide," Senior Brother Wang snorted and turned to walk back the way he came.
Despite the many pebbles on the road, he walked very fast.
Shangguan Biao's gaze shifted uncertainly.
He had experienced Wang's character many times before, and once he returned to the ground, he would most likely report this matter.
But the dew from the golden lotus is not enough for so many people. If it gets taken away, Shangguan Biao will no longer have this protective charm when he cleans the nest next time.
Not to mention, the sect would likely severely punish him for such behavior. The credit he desires would vanish without a trace!
That was his only hope of leaving this place!
What should I do? What should I do?
By the time Senior Brother Wang returned to the ground, it would be too late. Shangguan Biao gritted his teeth and suddenly took off after him:
"Senior Brother Wang, wait a moment! I'd like to share this with you!"
"Oh?" Senior Brother Wang turned around as expected.
Shangguan Biao's obsequious and fearful expression lowered his guard.
“There’s too little dew, not enough for the three of us,” Shangguan Biao said, handing over the jade bottle. “If you report this, it won’t do us any good.”
Senior Brother Wang instinctively took the bottle, but the next instant, a sharp pain shot through his palm, burning intensely!
He loosened his grip, and the bottle fell to the ground and shattered, spilling out and corroding several small holes in the stone floor.
"Acid poison!"
Caught off guard, Senior Brother Wang was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground, not caring about anything else.
He suddenly looked up, and the last thing he saw in his life was Shangguan Biao casually grabbing a broken stalagmite and stabbing it through his heart!
Aunt Zhu exclaimed, "Oh my, this kid is very accurate and ruthless. It seems he has practiced his basic skills very well."
Blood Demon said coldly, "Hehe, you honed your skills behind the door, didn't you?"
The bamboo shoot tips are as sharp as knife tips, piercing you with a chilling stab.
Senior Brother Wang immediately stopped moving.
Shangguan Biao took two steps back and leaned against the rock, staring at the corpse and muttering, "Why did you do this? Isn't it good for neither of us?"
He looked around to make sure no one else would appear, then pulled up his senior brother Wang's body and quickly threw it deeper into the crevice.
No one ever goes down there.
Blood Demon's comment: "This guy surnamed Wang still lacks experience in harming people. After making a threat, he should never have turned his back on the other person."
Then Shangguan Biao continued cleaning the passageway until he had collected all the cream. Only then did he find a stalactite and smash his head against it, causing it to bleed profusely!
He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu immediately understood his intentions.
Is this Shangguan Biao before he turned evil? He was already quite ruthless to himself.
Then, Shangguan Biao returned to the ground via the same route.
After using the lotus dew, Mother Earth slept soundly and did not throw a tantrum again.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time Shangguan Biao had done this.
Aunt Zhu asked, "Why did he do this experiment?"
According to He Lingchuan's understanding: "He was demoted from a disciple to a menial servant at Duzhi Mountain, so of course he was resentful. The Wind and Dew Golden Lotus was a spiritual herb cultivated in his family, and probably no one in Changfeng Valley knew it better than him. Perhaps he wanted to use this spiritual herb to heal the Earth Mother's injuries and gain merit in exchange for a chance to climb back up?"
Immortal Mingke said, "Liu Yisheng said that the Earth Mother's spirit injury is recurring during this period and is not getting better. If Shangguan Biao can heal the Earth Mother's injury, it will indeed be a great achievement."
If that's the case, Shangguan Biao definitely needs to test it repeatedly; he can't afford to miss any opportunities. This chance is extremely important to him.
He Lingchuan also sighed, "Even now, his idea is still to rely solely on his own efforts to achieve merit and advance in the ranks, and to take the right path. In a sect like Changfeng Valley, that's still too naive."
Immortal Mingke nodded and said, "Even if he can cure Mother Earth, the credit may not necessarily belong to him."
Halfway through the journey, Shangguan Biao suddenly stopped, as if listening to something, looking left and right.
But the eyeball spider heard and saw nothing; everything around it seemed normal. Suddenly, Shangguan Biao quickened his pace and sprinted towards his residence!
As he ran, he kept looking back, his face filled with worry and fear.
"Is this what he is?"
He Lingchuan pondered, "Perhaps that red monster has gone to find him again."
